Native Spanish-Speaking Students Sing Their Way to English Fluency
Dallas, TX (ContentDesk) August 3, 2005 -- Each year in August urban school systems are inundated with children who do not speak English.
It poses a particular problem for schools in Texas, California, and counties along the Mexico Border.
Now language technology companies like American Language Solutions are coming up with innovative ways to teach English to native Spanish-speakers.
They are encouraging students to sing their way to English fluency.A representative for American Language Solutions stated, "I always get songs stuck in my head and I end up singing them all day.
We thought wouldn't it be great if kids actually learned something from the songs that get stuck in their head.
We realized that singing would be an excellent way to teach English to native Spanish-speakers and we created a program to teach English to school children that's almost entirely based on songs.
Most other English as a Second Language programs have kids repeating and memorizing thousands of vocabulary words. School children don't want to spend time memorizing vocabulary words.
They have enough stuff to memorize!
Singing their way to English fluency is fun and it doesn't feel like work."American Language Solutions' flagship product, Ingles Para Todos, makes it possible for anyone in the family to learn English and can be purchased at www.americanlanguagesolutions.com.

The Pros and Cons of Ceiling Speakers
Office buildings, airports and restaurants were the first homes of ceiling speakers. They can be easily recognized by the dense grilles that pour decibels right into your head.But why would someone want ceiling or in wall speakers, instead of a pair of normal, efficient and highly affordable speaker cabinets. There could be a few reasons:
- Saving some space in the room;
- Maintaining the aesthetics of the room;
- Hiding the wires;
- Getting rid of the holes in the walls.
People want the environment adapted to their needs, not the other way around.There's one sure thing with in-wall and ceiling speakers: they are not for those who are into high-end audio. You...
